The "Uninvited" in Past Hollywood Days!?

If anyone had the impression gay women were left out of Hollywood stories or the gay rights project in past decades, I don't think it was completely true? Most of the stories weren't openly gay, anyway--and neither were the people! There was a female writer who was involved in the gay rights project--directly or indirectly. [She was a published author and isn't alive any more. Am not saying she was gay--I have no knowledge of it--not exactly. I don't know! She was single all her life and adopted a child.] Have had a very busy day today and just wanted to write another short note. There used to be mostly men in the workplace--especially among police and military [it may still be that way?]; and the gay issues would apply to women as well as men.--Increased rights and knowledge would have been a help to both men and women, of course. [Will try to do a little more research when I have time, if possible.]
